Part 1
Examinador
Do you like reading?
Candidato
To tell the truth, yes, I completely adore reading because it helps me to escape reality sometimes, uh, but most of the time it helps me to uh, be less stressed and to uh, know something new about the world I live in almost every day.
Examinador
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Candidato
To be honest, it depends on the situation that I'm in. When I'm at home or when where I can hold my book steadily, I prefer to use paper books and smell them sometimes because it helps to feel the atmosphere more clearly. But if I'm on the go then I prefer to read electronic books because it's easier.
Examinador
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Candidato
I suppose that, uh, a person needs to read carefully when they are studying or where they are, umm, acquaintance to some new information. And they can read less carefully when they are reading some fiction books for, for example, because, umm, it's way easier to understand.
Examinador
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Candidato
Umm, honestly I think that it depends on the situation or on a what kind of book could you read? But As for me, I prefer scanning rather than detailed reading because it helps to get to the point, uh, way quicker and uh, you reduce the time you spend on reading almost every.
Do you like reading?
Pontuação: 76.0Sugestão: Reduce hesitations and minor redundancies, and structure the answer with a clear topic sentence and two brief supporting points. Use a linking phrase to connect reasons and give one specific example or type of book to make the content more concrete.
Exemplo: Yes, I really enjoy reading. It helps me relax after a long day and learn new things about the world. For example, I often read short non-fiction articles about science and history because they give me interesting facts and fresh perspectives.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
Pontuação: 82.0Sugestão: Good structure and contrast. Improve naturalness by removing odd phrasing ("when where") and unnecessary details ("smell them sometimes") or replace them with a concise specific reason. Keep it within 3–4 sentences and use a linking word (however/whereas) to show contrast.
Exemplo: It depends on the situation. At home I prefer paper books because the physical pages help me focus and enjoy the atmosphere. However, when I'm travelling I choose e-books because they are more convenient and save space.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
Pontuação: 68.0Sugestão: Clarify the topic sentence and avoid hesitations. Use more precise vocabulary (e.g., "learning new material" instead of "acquaintance to") and provide a clear contrast with linking words. Give a specific example of a text that requires careful reading and one that does not.
Exemplo: You should read carefully when studying or learning new material, such as a textbook or a technical article, because details matter. In contrast, you can read less carefully when enjoying light fiction or a magazine, since the language and plot are usually easier to follow.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
Pontuação: 70.0Sugestão: Remove hesitations and correct grammar ("what kind of book you are reading"). State your preference clearly, give reasons using linking words (because/so), and add a specific example of when you scan versus when you read in detail. Keep it concise and natural.
Exemplo: It depends, but generally I prefer scanning because it lets me find key information quickly. For example, I scan news articles or reports to get the main points; however, I read textbooks in detail when I need to fully understand a topic.
× To be honest, it depends on the situation that I'm in.
✓ To be honest, it depends on the situation I'm in.
The phrase 'depends on the situation that I'm in' is grammatically acceptable but wordy; removing 'that' makes the sentence more natural and concise. This is an issue of preposition and relative clause usage rather than core meaning. Suggestion: omit unnecessary relative pronoun when it does not add clarity.
× When I'm at home or when where I can hold my book steadily, I prefer to use paper books and smell them sometimes because it helps to feel the atmosphere more clearly.
✓ When I'm at home or where I can hold my book steadily, I prefer to use paper books and smell them sometimes because they help me feel the atmosphere more clearly.
The original mixes 'it' and plural noun references incorrectly. 'Paper books' is plural so pronouns and verbs must agree: use 'they' and 'help me' instead of 'it helps to feel'. Also 'to feel the atmosphere' is better as 'feel the atmosphere.' Suggestion: ensure pronoun number matches the noun and simplify verb phrases.
× But if I'm on the go then I prefer to read electronic books because it's easier.
✓ But if I'm on the go, then I prefer to read electronic books because they're easier.
The pronoun 'it' is singular but refers to 'electronic books' (plural). Use 'they're' or 'they are' to match the plural noun. Also add a comma after the subordinate clause for clarity.
× I suppose that, uh, a person needs to read carefully when they are studying or where they are, umm, acquaintance to some new information.
✓ I suppose that a person needs to read carefully when they are studying or when they are being introduced to some new information.
The phrase 'where they are acquaintance to' is incorrect. Use 'being introduced to' or 'acquainted with' plus correct preposition. Also avoid mixing 'when' and 'where' — use 'when' for situations. Suggestion: use 'acquainted with' or 'introduced to' depending on intended meaning.
× And they can read less carefully when they are reading some fiction books for, for example, because, umm, it's way easier to understand.
✓ And they can read less carefully when they are reading some fiction books, for example, because they're much easier to understand.
'It's' (singular) incorrectly refers to 'fiction books' (plural); use 'they're' or 'they are.' Also 'way' is informal — 'much' is better in formal context. Remove extra fillers and commas for clarity.
× Umm, honestly I think that it depends on the situation or on a what kind of book could you read?
✓ Honestly, I think that it depends on the situation or on what kind of book you want to read.
This sentence mixes interrogative word order ('could you read?') into a declarative sentence, causing structure errors. Change to declarative 'what kind of book you want to read' to match the main clause. Also remove filler 'a' before 'what' and reorder for natural English.
× But As for me, I prefer scanning rather than detailed reading because it helps to get to the point, uh, way quicker and uh, you reduce the time you spend on reading almost every.
✓ But as for me, I prefer scanning rather than detailed reading because it helps me get to the point much quicker and reduces the time I spend on reading almost every day.
Several issues: 'As' should be lowercase; 'it helps to get' is vague and needs a subject ('helps me get'); 'you reduce' switches perspective — keep consistent first person ('reduces the time I spend'); 'way' is informal, use 'much'; 'almost every' is incomplete — add 'day.' Also article/capitalization errors fixed. Suggestion: maintain consistent subject and complete time expressions.
